Jim worked on the electronics today. He used the old trusty, cheap, reliable electronics that never seem to die.

Thats about when I heard hey, Jackass lift me up to see Jim.
[Image: IM000202.jpg]

It was none other the Jim's twin brother Rick.

He had been making a bumper from measurements that Jim had gave him and he came by to test the fitment.

Jim continued on the electronics by connecting the wires.

Jim got some double sided tape

He cleaned both surfaces with motor cleaner.

He then applied Firm pressure to the tape.

After pressing the reciever on he couldn't get the tape to stick for nothing.

(Jim) "Heavy duty tape my ***."

Time for something different

Much better

After securing the electronics he zip tied the wires and finished up the mounting.

Where else do you have this posted?
lol, this is good
hahaha on one of those other forums they said give him some hair and bam! jims got family!
I want to see the outtakes.
Lets hope he doesn't knock up Jane because then he would have to sell everything and we wouldn't see him again
you'll see Jane ridin' in the newly rebuilt truck with a car seat in the passenger side..lol
Everything went well, Steering was still not the greatest, the tires need glue, the paint I guess it chips easy it must have not bonded properly with the chrome. Lost the windsheild in a rollover. I guess stronger glue is in order. But, yeah it worked great the tires performed really good. Jim had real good time he has a love for the mud.

He removed all the screw except for one stubborn bolt. He had to bring out the big tools.

Brrrrrrrrrrrr brrrrrrrrrrrrrr

BRRRR BRRRRRRR BBBBBRRR BRRRRRRRR, POW!
[Image: IM000348.jpg]

The screw came out easier the rest of the way. The holes in the chassis are so stripped out by the previous owner. This was the size of bolt that came from the hole.

Why does Tamiya like using so many gears?
[Image: aa45fb10.jpg]

Jim found the problem.
[Image: 952a6a5a.jpg]

Spacer was gone for some reason causing gear issues.
[Image: 6ded482c.jpg]
Well he had better get to fixing it then....
Jeez jim, aren't you supposed to check stuff like that before you buy a used car?
I think you need to teach Jim how to solder. Those bullet connectors are bad news Smile. Probably just fine for this application but who doesn't like to put shiny new deans on?
where's the video u said u would have?
hows jim doin? any new stories or chicks with plastic in all the right places! lol
I went to the shop to see what Jim was up to today.

Turns out he was working setting up a winch in the chassis.
[Image: 2df0e4d3.jpg]

He is going to mount the winch in the rear and use brass tube to carry the winch line out to the front.
